Definitions
- the invention relates to a connector for spacer hollow profiles for insulating glass panes with a U- or box-shaped cross-section, which is designed as a straight, angle, corner or crossing connector.
- This connector is provided with a base part and two longitudinal side bars, which are designed as legs protruding from the base.
- the base part forms the body of the connector together with the longitudinal side webs, wherein outwardly projecting, preferably elastically deformable lamellae are arranged on at least part of the longitudinal sides for each insertion section, which are designed to be inclined or curved, wherein the inclination or bend is designed to the rear in the insertion direction.
- EP 2 784 261 A1 discloses a connector with a U- or box-shaped cross-section, which is designed as a straight, angle, corner or crossing connector, for spacer hollow profiles for insulating glass panes with all the features of the preamble of claim 1 with a supporting and/or stabilizing device.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of eliminating these problems and proposing a connector which, on the one hand, holds securely in the spacer hollow profile and, on the other hand, ensures the flow of drying agent.
- the raised areas of the connector nestle against the inside of the spacer hollow profile and thus ensure a good fit. If the raised areas are too high due to the smaller dimensions of the spacer hollow profile, they are removed or folded over by the front edge of the spacer hollow profile. Desiccant can flow through under the support and/or stabilizing device without reaching the joints. the spacer hollow profile ends. It has also proven to be very advantageous if the elevations are designed as longitudinal webs, the ends of which can be bevelled. This design allows the connector to slide very well into the respective hollow profile end.
- the elevations are arranged on the edges of the legs pointing away from the ground and/or on the supporting and/or stabilizing device.
- a further very advantageous embodiment of the invention is provided when the elevations are arranged on the outwardly projecting slats and/or at the transition between the legs and the slats.
- This design achieves improved elasticity, especially in the vertical direction.
- Another very advantageous embodiment is when the longitudinal side webs are tapered starting from the bottom.
- transition between the base and the leg is rounded, at least on the inside of the connector.
- a further very advantageous development of the invention is present when the edge of the slats pointing away from the legs is formed obliquely and/or that the slats have a larger extension in terms of the connector width at the level of the free end of the legs than in the direction of the floor.
- a further very advantageous embodiment of the invention is also present if sealing ribs are provided on the outside in the region of the transition between the base and the leg, whereby these can be adapted to the contour of a spacer hollow profile.
- sealing ribs are part of individual slats.
- the supporting and/or stabilizing device is designed as a plate, grid, strut combination or the like.
- the support and/or stabilization device is arranged at or below the maximum height of the connector.
- the supporting and/or stabilizing device is designed as a sealing device for sealing the joint of the spacer hollow profile ends to be connected.
- An extremely advantageous embodiment of the invention is provided when a sealing device for sealing the joint of the spacer hollow profile ends to be connected is arranged on the support and/or stabilization device.
- This sealing device seals the joint between the two hollow spacer profile ends that are to be connected. Gas introduced into the space between the panes is prevented from escaping.
- a deflector is provided at least at one longitudinal end of the supporting and/or stabilizing device, which can be designed, for example, as a bevel, projection, elevation or the like.
- This deflector prevents drying agent from sticking and clumping on the support and/or stabilization device. This prevents the passage from becoming blocked.
- a deflector is provided at the transition between the longitudinal end of the support and/or stabilizing device and the respective leg.
- the deflector protrudes beyond the longitudinal end of the support and/or stabilization device. According to the invention, it is very advantageous that the deflector projects into the space formed by the legs, the floor and the supporting and/or stabilizing device.
- a very advantageous development of the invention also exists when one or more insertion stops are arranged in the region of the middle of the longitudinal extension of the connector, wherein the stops can be provided on the outer sides of the side webs.
- FIG. 1 a U-shaped connector for spacer hollow profiles for multi-pane insulating glass.
- This connector 1 essentially consists of a base 2 and two longitudinal side webs 3 and 4 attached to the edges of the base 2, so that the U-shaped profile of the connector 1 is defined.
- slats 5 are provided which point outwards and backwards in the insertion direction and can wedge themselves into the hollow profiles. According to further embodiments, the slats 5 can also be arranged only on one longitudinal side web 3 or 4 or sections thereof.
- a center stop 6 is also provided on the outer sides of the longitudinal side webs 3 and 4 for each insertion direction, which limits the insertion depth of the connector 1 into the hollow profiles.
- Each center stop 6 is assigned a compensating element 7, which is provided on the other longitudinal side web 3 and 4 opposite the center stop 6.
- the center stop 6 is designed to be elastically springy and ensures on the one hand that the hollow profile ends are not pushed over the middle of the connector and also that the hollow profile ends rest against the compensation elements 7. On the other hand, any manufacturing tolerances of the hollow profile are compensated. Wobbling of the connector 1 in the hollow profile is avoided.
- the center stops 6 can also undergo partial plastic deformation. As a rule, an overlap of plastic and elastic deformation is provided, since this also allows forces acting on the spacer hollow profile from the inside to be reduced to a minimum and thus prevents undesirable deformation of the same.
- the compensating elements 7 can additionally stiffen the connector in the radial direction and also in the transverse direction.
- the base 2 can have one or more openings and/or recesses (not shown) on the outside of the base 2 in each insertion direction. Certain hollow profiles can be inserted into these recesses and openings, thereby creating a solid mechanical connection. However, this is only one of the many possible designs.
- the long side webs 3 and 4 are tapered starting from the base 2.
- the transition between the base 2 and the long side webs 3 and 4 is rounded. This design increases the stability with respect to transverse forces. Nevertheless, the upper ends of the long side webs 3 and 4 are flexible.
- the outwardly projecting slats 5 can be inclined, as shown in the embodiments, and can also widen outwards in the direction of the free ends of the longitudinal side webs 3 and 4. This means that the upper ends of the slats 5 produce a larger overall width of the connector 1 than the lower ends.
- This angled design of the slats 5 allows them to grip particularly well into the spacer hollow profile.
- the greatest pressure is exerted on the spacer hollow profile in the area of the edges, where it is also the most stable.
- the slats 5 are arranged at the upper end of the longitudinal side bars 3 and 4.
- the slats 5 can be tapered starting from the longitudinal side webs 3 and 4, whereby a further improved flexibility is created especially at their ends and thus a very good adaptation to width tolerances of the spacer hollow profiles is achieved.
- Sealing ribs 8 are provided beneath the slats 5 and are recessed relative to the slats 5. These can prevent the flow of drying agent to the joints of the hollow spacer profiles beneath the slats 5. The sealing ribs 8 can leave space for any connecting seams of the hollow spacer profiles.
- the sealing ribs 8 can be part of individual lamellae 5.
- elevations 9 are arranged, which are designed as longitudinal webs and can be provided with run-up slopes 10 at the longitudinal ends.
- These raised areas 9 are comparatively narrow and can be removed or bent by the spacer hollow profile when pushed onto the connector 1 if they are too high. This adjustment of the connector height ensures that the pressure on the spacer hollow profile is not too great, so that it can be deformed. In addition, even with larger manufacturing tolerances of the spacer hollow profile, which occur primarily due to the multi-component structure of the spacer hollow profile, primarily metal and plastic, the connector is optimally adjusted and thus fits well.
- the raised areas are arranged on the outside of the connector.
- the longitudinal side webs are themselves formed by slats.
- the elevations 9 are only connected to a part of the respective slats 5.
- the connector 1 can be bevelled at its ends. Furthermore, the connector body, formed by the base 2 and the longitudinal side webs 3 and 4, can be reinforced or stabilized on the open side.
- a stiffener 11 is conceivable, as shown in the second embodiment. In this embodiment, the stiffener 11 is made up of intersecting struts 12. Depending on the desired stiffening, other strut combinations can also be used. For example, it is conceivable that purely diagonal struts 12 are provided, which only lead to a stiffening of the connector 1 in the case of larger deformations, but which spring when the deformations are small.
- the stiffener 11 can also be designed as a plate.
- Fig. 9 It is shown that the elevations 9 are arranged on the stiffener 11. A positioning in the area of the longitudinal side webs 3 and 4 is preferred.
- the stiffener 11 is preferably provided in the middle of the longitudinal extension of the connector 1, i.e. in the joint area of the spacer hollow profile ends.
- the stiffener 11 is mounted below the greatest height extension of the connector 1, whereby the greatest height is defined by the elevations 9.
- stiffener 11 which represents a supporting and/or stabilizing device, is arranged at the greatest connector height.
- a flat design of the stiffener 11 is also conceivable.
- a sealing device 13 can also be arranged on the reinforcement 11, which is able to seal the joint of the spacer hollow profile ends.
- the reinforcement 11 itself acts as a sealing device and seals the spacer hollow profile ends.
- This sealing can prevent any unwanted escape of filling gases from the space between the panes until the final sealing with sealant, usually butyl, is used.
- the sealing device 13 is preferably made of a comparatively soft material that conforms very well to the roof surfaces of the spacer hollow profiles. Rubber or rubber-like materials are just as conceivable as soft plastics that can be easily deformed elastically or partially elastically.
- deflectors are provided which in the present examples are designed as rounded projections 101 which project into the interior of the connector and prevent desiccant from accumulating on the stiffener 11 and clogging the passage of the connector.
- the deflectors 101 are arranged at the transition of the longitudinal end of the stiffener 11 to the longitudinal side webs 3 and 4 and protrude beyond the stiffener 11.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Steckverbinder für Abstandhalterhohlprofile für Isolierglasscheiben mit U- oder kastenförmigem Querschnitt, der als Gerad-, Winkel-, Eck- oder Kreuzungsverbinder ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a connector for spacer hollow profiles for insulating glass panes with a U- or box-shaped cross-section, which is designed as a straight, angle, corner or crossing connector.
Dieser Verbinder ist mit einem Bodenteil und zwei Längsseitenstegen versehen, die als vom Boden aufragende Schenkel ausgebildet sind.This connector is provided with a base part and two longitudinal side bars, which are designed as legs protruding from the base.
Das Bodenteil bildet zusammen mit den Längsseitenstegen den Körper des Verbinders, wobei an wenigstens einem Teil der Längsseiten nach außen ragende, vorzugsweise elastisch verformbare Lamellen für jeden Einsteckabschnitt angeordnet sind, die geneigt oder gebogen ausgeführt sind, wobei die Neigung oder Biegung in Einsteckrichtung nach hinten ausgebildet ist.The base part forms the body of the connector together with the longitudinal side webs, wherein outwardly projecting, preferably elastically deformable lamellae are arranged on at least part of the longitudinal sides for each insertion section, which are designed to be inclined or curved, wherein the inclination or bend is designed to the rear in the insertion direction.
Es sind verschiedenartige Verbinder dieses Typs bekannt, die jedoch gerade bei modernen, sehr dünnwandigen und oftmals aus mehreren Materialien gefertigten Abstandhalterhohlprofilen Probleme bereiten. Zu diesen Problemen gehört vor allem, daß der Halt der Verbinder im Abstandhalterhohlprofil nicht immer gewährleistet werden kann, da die Abstandhalterhohlprofile an ihrer Innenseite oftmals deutliche Toleranzen aufweisen. Zudem besteht das Problem, daß der Druck durch den Verbinder auf das Abstandhalterhohlprofil nicht zu groß sein darf, da dieses ansonsten deformiert wird. Desweiteren besteht das Problem, daß gerade bei schmalen Abstandhalterhohlprofilen mit bekannten Steckverbindern der Durchfluss von Trocknungsmittel nicht sicher gewährleistet werden kann.Various connectors of this type are known, but they cause problems, particularly with modern, very thin-walled hollow spacer profiles that are often made of several materials. One of these problems is that the hold of the connectors in the hollow spacer profile cannot always be guaranteed, since the hollow spacer profiles often have significant tolerances on their inside. There is also the problem that the pressure exerted by the connector on the hollow spacer profile must not be too great, otherwise it will be deformed. There is also the problem that the flow of drying agent cannot be reliably guaranteed, particularly with narrow hollow spacer profiles with known connectors.
Aus der
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese Probleme zu beseitigen und einen Steckverbinder vorzuschlagen, der einerseits sicher im Abstandhalterhohlprofil hält, und andererseits der Durchfluss von Trocknungsmittel gewährleistet ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of eliminating these problems and proposing a connector which, on the one hand, holds securely in the spacer hollow profile and, on the other hand, ensures the flow of drying agent.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.
Die Überhöhungen des Steckverbinders schmiegen sich an die Innenseite des Abstandhalterhohlprofiles an und sorgen so für einen guten Sitz. Bei, aufgrund kleinerer Abmessungen des Abstandhalterhohlprofils, zu starker Überhöhung werden diese durch die Stirnkante des Abstandhalterhohlprofils abgetragen oder umgelegt. Unter der Trag- und/oder Stabilisierungseinrichtung kann Trocknungsmittel hindurchfliessen, ohne an die Stoßstellen der Abstandhalterhohlprofilenden zu gelangen. Es hat sich auch als sehr vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die Überhöhungen als Längsstege ausgebildet sind, deren Enden abgeschrägt ausgebildet sein können. Mittels dieser Ausgestaltung kann der Verbinder sehr gut in das jeweilige Hohlprofilende gleiten.This object is achieved according to the invention by the subject matter of claim 1.
The raised areas of the connector nestle against the inside of the spacer hollow profile and thus ensure a good fit. If the raised areas are too high due to the smaller dimensions of the spacer hollow profile, they are removed or folded over by the front edge of the spacer hollow profile. Desiccant can flow through under the support and/or stabilizing device without reaching the joints. the spacer hollow profile ends. It has also proven to be very advantageous if the elevations are designed as longitudinal webs, the ends of which can be bevelled. This design allows the connector to slide very well into the respective hollow profile end.
Äußerst vorteilhaft ist es auch, wenn die Überhöhungen auf den vom Boden wegweisenden Kanten der Schenkel und/oder auf der Trag- und/oder Stabilisierungseinrichtung angeordnet sind.It is also extremely advantageous if the elevations are arranged on the edges of the legs pointing away from the ground and/or on the supporting and/or stabilizing device.
Dort werden Kräfte sehr gut in den Verbinder eingeleitet. Zudem ist ein guter Sitz des Verbinders im Abstandhalterhohlprofil gewährleistet.This is where forces are transferred very well into the connector. In addition, a good fit of the connector in the hollow spacer profile is guaranteed.
Eine weitere sehr vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung liegt vor, wenn die Überhöhungen auf den nach außen ragenden Lamellen und/oder am Übergang zwischen den Schenkeln und den Lamellen angeordnet sind.A further very advantageous embodiment of the invention is provided when the elevations are arranged on the outwardly projecting slats and/or at the transition between the legs and the slats.
Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird eine verbesserte Elastizität vor allem in Höhenrichtung erreicht.This design achieves improved elasticity, especially in the vertical direction.
Eine weitere sehr vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung liegt vor, wenn die Längsseitenstege vom Boden ausgehend verjüngt ausgebildet sind.Another very advantageous embodiment is when the longitudinal side webs are tapered starting from the bottom.
Hierdurch sind diese einerseits stabil, aber dennoch nachgiebig und flexibel.This makes them stable on the one hand, but still yielding and flexible.
Als sehr vorteilhaft hat es sich auch erwiesen, wenn der Übergang zwischen Boden und Schenkel zumindest im Inneren des Steckverbinders abgerundet ausgebildet ist.It has also proven to be very advantageous if the transition between the base and the leg is rounded, at least on the inside of the connector.
Damit werden seitliche Kräfte zwischen den Schenkeln und dem Boden sehr gut eingeleitet.This allows lateral forces between the thighs and the ground to be transferred very well.
Eine weitere sehr vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung liegt vor, wenn die von den Schenkeln wegweisende Kante der Lamellen schräg ausgebildet sind und/oder daß die Lamellen auf Höhe des freien Endes der Schenkel eine größere Ausdehnung hinsichtlich der Verbinderbreite aufweist, als in Richtung des Bodens.A further very advantageous development of the invention is present when the edge of the slats pointing away from the legs is formed obliquely and/or that the slats have a larger extension in terms of the connector width at the level of the free end of the legs than in the direction of the floor.
Durch diese Ausgestaltung der Lamellen können sich diese noch besser im Abstandhalterhohlprofil verkrallen.This design of the slats allows them to grip the hollow spacer profile even better.
Es hat sich ebenfalls als sehr vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die Lamellen nur einen Teil der Höhenerstreckung der Schenkel einnehmen.It has also proven to be very advantageous if the slats only take up part of the height of the legs.
Hierdurch kann Raum für etwaige Nähte im Abstandhalterhohlprofil geschaffen werden.This can create space for any seams in the spacer hollow profile.
Eine weitere sehr vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung liegt auch vor, wenn im Bereich des Übergangs zwischen Boden und Schenkel an der Außenseite Dichtrippen vorgesehen sind, wobei diese an die Kontur eines Abstandhalterhohlprofiles angepasst sein können.A further very advantageous embodiment of the invention is also present if sealing ribs are provided on the outside in the region of the transition between the base and the leg, whereby these can be adapted to the contour of a spacer hollow profile.
Hierdurch kann trotz etwaiger Nähte wirksam ein Austritt von im Abstandhalterhohlprofil enthaltenem Trocknungsmittel bzw. Molekularsieb verhindert werden.This effectively prevents the escape of desiccant or molecular sieve contained in the spacer hollow profile despite any seams.
Dabei ist es sehr vorteilhaft, wenn die Dichtrippen Teil einzelner Lamellen sind.It is very advantageous if the sealing ribs are part of individual slats.
Dadurch werden zusätzliche Bauteile vermieden.This avoids additional components.
Äußerst vorteilhaft ist es in diesem Zusammenhang, wenn die Trag- und/oder Stabilisierungseinrichtung als Platte, Gitter, Strebenkombination oder dergleichen ausgebildet ist.In this context, it is extremely advantageous if the supporting and/or stabilizing device is designed as a plate, grid, strut combination or the like.
Damit wird eine Möglichkeit geschaffen, weitere Einbauten bzw. Funktionen vorzusehen und/oder die Stabilität des Steckverbinders zu erhöhen. Erfindungsgemäß ist die Trag- und/oder Stabilisierungseinrichtung auf oder unterhalb der maximalen Höhe des Steckverbinders angeordnet ist.This creates the possibility of providing additional fittings or functions and/or increasing the stability of the connector. According to the invention, the support and/or stabilization device is arranged at or below the maximum height of the connector.
Dadurch wird Raum für weitere Einbauten geschaffen. Zudem wird die Elastizität der Enden der Seitenstege nicht negativ beeinflusst.This creates space for additional fittings. In addition, the elasticity of the ends of the side bars is not negatively affected.
Weiterhin ist es sehr vorteilhaft, wenn die Trag- und/oder Stabiliserungseinrichtung als Dichteinrichtung zum Abdichten des Stoßes der zu verbindenden Abstandhalterhohlprofilenden ausgestaltet ist.Furthermore, it is very advantageous if the supporting and/or stabilizing device is designed as a sealing device for sealing the joint of the spacer hollow profile ends to be connected.
Damit kann die Trag- und/oder Stabilisierungseinrichtung die Stoßstelle der Abstandhalterhohlprofilenden gegen Austritt von Trocknungsmittel abdichten. Es kann bei entsprechender Ausgestaltung auch eine Abdichtung gegen den Austritt von Füllgas zwischen den Glasscheiben stattfinden.This allows the support and/or stabilization device to seal the joint between the ends of the spacer hollow profiles against the escape of desiccant. If designed accordingly, it can also seal against the escape of filling gas between the glass panes.
Eine äußerst vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung liegt vor, wenn eine Dichteinrichtung zum Abdichten des Stoßes der zu verbindenden Abstandhalterhohlprofilenden auf der Trag- und/oder Stabilisierungseinrichtung angeordnet ist.An extremely advantageous embodiment of the invention is provided when a sealing device for sealing the joint of the spacer hollow profile ends to be connected is arranged on the support and/or stabilization device.
Durch diese Dichteinrichtung wird die Stoßstelle der beiden miteinander zu verbindenden Abstandhalterhohlprofilenden abgedichtet. Im Scheibenzwischenraum eingeleitetes Gas wird am Austreten gehindert.This sealing device seals the joint between the two hollow spacer profile ends that are to be connected. Gas introduced into the space between the panes is prevented from escaping.
Gemäß der Erfindung ist wenigstens an einem längsseitigen Enden der Trag- und/oder Stabilisierungseinrichtung ein Abweiser vorgesehen, der beispielsweise als Abschrägung, Vorsprung, Überhöhung oder dergleichen ausgebildet sein kann.According to the invention, a deflector is provided at least at one longitudinal end of the supporting and/or stabilizing device, which can be designed, for example, as a bevel, projection, elevation or the like.
Dieser Abweiser verhindert ein Festhängen und Verklumpen von Trocknungsmittel an der Trag- und/oder Stabilisierungseinrichtung. Ein Verstopfen der Passage wird verhindert.This deflector prevents drying agent from sticking and clumping on the support and/or stabilization device. This prevents the passage from becoming blocked.
Erfindungsgemäß ist es auch sehr vorteilhaft, daß jeweils am Übergang des längsseitigen Endes der Trag- und/oder Stabilisierungseinrichtung und dem jeweiligen Schenkel ein Abweiser vorgesehen ist.According to the invention, it is also very advantageous that a deflector is provided at the transition between the longitudinal end of the support and/or stabilizing device and the respective leg.
Ebenfalls sehr vorteilhaft ist es auch, wenn der Abweiser über das längsseitige Ende der Trag- und/oder Stabilisierungseinrichtung hinausragt.
Erfindungsgemäß sehr vorteilhaft ist es, daß der Abweiser in den durch die Schenkel, den Boden und die Trag- und/oder Stabilisierungseinrichtung gebildeten Raum hineinragt.It is also very advantageous if the deflector protrudes beyond the longitudinal end of the support and/or stabilization device.
According to the invention, it is very advantageous that the deflector projects into the space formed by the legs, the floor and the supporting and/or stabilizing device.
Mit einer solchen Ausgestaltung wurden die besten Ergebnisse hinsichtlich Verhinderung der Verklumpung und dem Anhängen von Trocknungsmittel erzielt.
Eine sehr vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung liegt auch vor, wenn ein oder mehrere Einsteckanschläge im Bereich der Mitte der Längserstreckung des Verbinders angeordnet sind, wobei die Anschläge an den Außenseiten der Seitenstege vorgesehen sein können.With such a design, the best results were achieved in terms of preventing clumping and the adhesion of desiccant.
A very advantageous development of the invention also exists when one or more insertion stops are arranged in the region of the middle of the longitudinal extension of the connector, wherein the stops can be provided on the outer sides of the side webs.
Damit wird sichergestellt, daß der Verbinder wenigstens annähernd mittig in den Abstandhalterhohlprofilen sitzt.This ensures that the connector sits at least approximately centrally in the spacer hollow profiles.

An den Außenseiten der Längsseitenstege 3 und 4 sind nach außen weisende, in Einsteckrichtung nach hinten weisende Lamellen 5 vorgesehen, die sich in den Hohlprofilen zu verkeilen vermögen. Gemäß weiteren Ausgestaltungsbeispielen können die Lamellen 5 auch nur an einem Längsseitensteg 3 oder 4 oder Abschnitten davon angeordnet sein.On the outsides of the
Im Bereich der Mitte des Verbinders 1 sind ebenfalls an den Außenseiten der Längsseitenstege 3 und 4 für jede Einsteckrichtung jeweils ein Mittenanschlag 6 vorgesehen, der die Einstecktiefe des Verbinders 1 in die Hohlprofile begrenzt.In the area of the middle of the connector 1, a
Den Mittenanschlägen 6 ist jeweils ein Ausgleichselement 7 zugeordnet, das gegenüber den Mittenanschlägen 6 jeweils am anderen Längsseitensteg 3 und 4 vorgesehen ist.Each
Der Mittenanschlag 6 ist elastisch federnd ausgebildet und sorgt einerseits dafür, daß die Hohlprofilenden nicht über die Mitte des Steckverbinders geschoben werden und auch daß die Hohlprofilenden an den Ausgleichselementen 7 anliegen. Andererseits werden etwaige Fertigungstoleranzen des Hohlprofils ausgeglichen. Ein Wackeln des Verbinders 1 im Hohlprofil wird vermieden. Die Mittenschläge 6 können dabei auch eine teilweise plastische Umformung erfahren. In der Regel wird eine Überlagerung von plastischer und elastischer Umformung vorgesehen werden, da damit auch von innen auf das Abstandhalterhohlprofil wirkende Kräfte auf ein Mindestmaß reduziert werden können und so eine unerwünschte Verformung derselben vermieden wird.The
Es ist denkbar, daß auch nur ein Mittenanschlag 6 und/oder ein Ausgleichselement 7 je Steckverbinder vorgesehen ist.It is conceivable that only one

Der Boden 2 kann in jeder Einsteckrichtung eine oder mehrere nicht dargestellte Durchbrechungen und/oder Vertiefungen an der Außenseite des Bodens 2 aufweisen. In diese Vertiefungen und in die Durchbrechungen hinein können bestimmte aufgesteckte Hohlprofile verstemmt werden, wodurch eine feste mechanische Verbindung geschaffen wird. Dies ist jedoch nur eine der vielfältigen Ausgestaltungsmöglichkeiten.The
Die Längsseitenstege 3 und 4 sind vom Boden 2 ausgehend sich verjüngend ausgebildet. Der Übergang zwischen Boden 2 und den Längsseitenstegen 3 und 4 ist jeweils abgerundet. Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird die Stabilität in Bezug auf Querkräfte erhöht. Dennoch sind die oberen Enden der Längsseitenstege 3 und 4 flexibel.The
Die nach außen ragenden Lamellen 5 können dabei, wie in den Ausführungsbeispielen dargestellt, schräg gestellt sein und sich auch in Richtung der freien Enden der Längsseitenstege 3 und 4 nach außen erweitern. Das bedeutet, daß die oberen Enden der Lamellen 5 eine größere Gesamtbreite des Steckverbinders 1 erzeugen als die unteren Enden.The outwardly projecting
Mit dieser schrägen Ausgestaltung der Lamellen 5 können sich diese besonders gut im Abstandhalterhohlprofil verkrallen. Zudem wird der größte Druck auf das Abstandhalterhohlprofil im Bereich der Kanten ausgeübt, wo dieses auch am stabilsten ist.This angled design of the
Es ist auch nicht nötig, daß die Lamellen 5 die gesamte Höhe der Längsseitenstege 3 und 4 einnehmen. So ist es durchaus ausreichend, wie in den Ausführungsbeispielen dargestellt, daß diese nur gut die Hälfte der Höhe der Längsseitenstege 3 und 4 einnehmen. Dabei sind die Lamellen 5 am oberen Ende der Längsseitenstege 3 und 4 angeordnet.It is also not necessary for the
Die Lamellen 5 können ausgehend von den Längsseitenstegen 3 und 4 sich verjüngend ausgebildet sein, wodurch gerade an deren Enden eine nochmals verbesserte Flexibilität hergestellt wird und damit eine sehr gute Anpassung an Breitentoleranzen der Abstandhalterhohlprofile erfolgt.The
Unterhalb der Lamellen 5 sind noch Dichtrippen 8 vorgesehen, die gegenüber den Lamellen 5 rückspringend ausgeführt sind. Diese können unterhalb der Lamellen 5 einen Durchfluß von Trockungsmittel zu den Stoßstellen der Abstandhalterhohlprofile verhindern. Die Dichtrippen 8 können dabei einen Raum für etwaige Verbindungsnähte der Abstandhalterhohlprofile frei lassen.
Die Dichtrippen 8 können dabei Teil einzelner Lamellen 5 sein.The sealing
Auf den freien Enden der Längssteitenstege 3 und 4 bzw. im Bereich dieser auf den Lamellen 5 bzw. am Übergang zwischen Längsseitensteg 3 und 4 und den Lamellen 5 sind Überhöhungen 9 angeordnet, die als Längsstege ausgebildet sind und an den längsseitigen Enden mit jeweils Auflaufschrägen 10 versehen sein können.On the free ends of the
Diese Überhöhungen 9 sind vergleichsweise schmal ausgebildet und können so bei einer zu großen Höhe auch vom Abstandhalterhohlprofil beim Aufschieben auf den Steckverbinder 1 abgetragen oder umgebogen werden. Durch diese Anpassung der Verbinderhöhe wird sichergestellt, daß der Druck auf das Abstandhalterhohlprofil nicht zu groß ist, so daß dieses deformiert werden kann. Zudem erfolgt auch bei größeren Fertigungstoleranzen des Abstandhalterhohlprofils, diese treten vor allem durch den mehrkomponentigen Aufbau des Abstandhalterhohlprofiles, vor allem Metall und Kunststoff, auf, eine optimale Anpassung des Steckverbinders und so ein guter Sitz desselben.These raised

Für eine leichtere Einsteckbarkeit des Steckverbinders 1 in Abstandhalterhohlprofile kann der Steckverbinder 1 noch an seinen Enden abgeschrägt ausgebildet sein. Desweiteren kann der Verbinderkörper, gebildet durch den Boden 2 und die Längsseitenstege 3 und 4 an der offenen Seite verstärkt bzw. stabilisiert werden. Hierzu ist eine Aussteifung 11 denkbar, wie sie im zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellt ist. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Aussteifung 11 aus sich kreuzenden Streben 12 aufgebaut. Je nach gewünschter Aussteifung können aber auch andere Strebenkombinationen eingesetzt werden. So ist es beispielsweise denkbar, daß rein diagonale Streben 12 vorgesehen werden, die erst bei größeren Deformationen zu einer Aussteifung des Steckverbinders 1 führen, bei geringen Deformationen jedoch mit federn.To make it easier to insert the connector 1 into spacer hollow profiles, the connector 1 can be bevelled at its ends. Furthermore, the connector body, formed by the

Auf der Aussteifung 11 kann noch eine Dichteinrichtung 13 angeordnet werden, die in der Lage ist, für eine Abdichtung der Stoßstelle der Abstandhalterhohlprofilenden zu sorgen. Es ist aber auch denkbar, daß die Aussteifung 11 selbst als Dichteinrichtung wirkt und die Abstandhalterhohlprofilenden abdichtet.A sealing
Durch diese Abdichtung kann ein unerwünschter Austritt von Füllgasen aus dem Scheibenzwischenraum bis zur endgültigen Versiegelung mit Dichtmittel, hier wird in der Regel Butyl verwendet, verhindert werden.This sealing can prevent any unwanted escape of filling gases from the space between the panes until the final sealing with sealant, usually butyl, is used.
Die Dichteinrichtung 13 ist vorzugsweise durch ein vergleichsweise weiches Material gebildet, das sich an die Dachflächen der Abstandhalterhohlprofile sehr gut anschmiegt. Gummi oder gummiähnliche Materialien sind ebenso denkbar wie weiche Kunststoffe, die sich leicht elastisch oder teilelastisch verformen lassen.The sealing
